He performs a very valuable service and is absolutely essential for the
free software and open source software movements.

If the man was nice, polite, personable, agreeable and concilatory, we
would be in a pile of shit with nothing. The last thing free software
and open source software needs is conciliation. It is a bit like
compromising on dick length - once you chop a bit of it off, you can
grow it again {:-).

Richard has been doing the hard work for a couple of decades that no one
else has been prepared to do.

Do you really want the Minix situation all over again?
